When to move Delphiniums & Yarrow

20 years ago

I have a few delphiniums that are just struggling and need to move to the area of my garden where they are flourishing. A couple of them are flowering and some are done flowering. When should I move them? Should I do it now or wait until spring? Also, do those pods on the delphs' stalks make seeds after flowering is over? I can cut them back in hopes of another flush of blooms. Or I can save the seeds for the seed exchange if it makes seeds. Oh, the decisions we have to make.

Same question for yarrow. When is the best time to relocate the yarrow. It is blooming right now so I'm thinking just leave it where it's at until it's done. But then what? Wait until spring?

Digging up a perfectly contented well established plant makes me nervous. I hear so many of you talking about how much you move your plants. I'm too scared. Help. I don't want to make a mistake and kill the sweet beauties. I need some encouragement.
